They Took My Truck To Mars

They took my truck to Mars

Left me stranded with the stars

Every road I ever loved Got smaller in the dark

You can take the moon

You can leave these crimson scars

But you don't know lonely

Till they take your truck to Mars

A blue light crossed the canyon wall My old hat blew,

my six-string fell That engine coughed one last goodbye Then rose like

smoke into the sky

I ran until the red dust burned But heaven never once looked

back Now every night I watch that beam And listen for it

coming back

They took my truck to Mars

Left me stranded with the stars

Every road I ever loved Got smaller in the dark

You can take the moon

You can leave these crimson scars

But you don't know lonely

Till they take your truck to Mars

The radio still knows our song The porch light says you're coming

home I keep one hand around the keys Like gravity might set

you free

Folks say a man should let things go But they ain't seen

that midnight glow

Some losses leave an empty chair Mine left tire tracks in the

air

Somewhere past the satellites She's rolling where no highway goes

If there is a road through heaven

I know that old truck knows

They took my truck to Mars Still I'm waiting by the stars

Every mile we ever drove Is burning through the dark

You can take the moon

You can leave these crimson scars

But you don't know lonely Till they take your truck to Mars

No, you don't know lonely

Till they take your truck to Mars
